Got the car up on the ramps to check the 3 wires to the alternator, these seemed fine but noticed I've still got a horrible oil leak after replacing the cam cover gasket and the distributor O ring.
Anyway I'm off to Spain soon until next May so the car will be in the garage until then.
I've had the car for 10 years now and I do love it but at the age of 63 I don't really enjoy working on it any more and so have been thinking of selling it and getting a newer car, maybe a Nissan 350z or an MX5.
Either that or I entrust my car to a garage or someone on here to do me a complete refreshing service/engine rebuild with new seals, all new belts and any wiring issues sorted.
If anyone could suggest anyone who could do this work I would be grateful.
Also contemplating a forged rebuild with all necessary ancillaries or going the whole hog with a GR2-FE engine replacement.


We are doing a number of engine rebuilds this winter and could fits your in if that is the way you want to go.

Still trying to solve this problem.
Could I have incorrectly wired the black and yellow bypass wire to the alternator which I had to do in order to make the alternator work?
